Incorporating higher-order representative features improves prediction in network-based cancer prognosis analysis.
TL;DR: This study introduces multiple ways of defining the representative features and effective thresholding regularized estimation approaches and provides convincing evidence that the higher-order representative features may have important implications for the prediction of cancer prognosis.

Abstract: Background
In cancer prognosis studies with gene expression measurements, an important goal is to construct gene signatures with predictive power. In this study, we describe the coordination among genes using the weighted coexpression network, where nodes represent genes and nodes are connected if the corresponding genes have similar expression patterns across samples. There are subsets of nodes, called modules, that are tightly connected to each other. In several published studies, it has been suggested that the first principal components of individual modules, also referred to as "eigengenes", may sufficiently represent the corresponding modules.

Gene network-based cancer prognosis analysis with sparse boosting
TL;DR: Simulation study shows that NSBoost can more accurately identify cancer-associated genes and modules than alternatives and outperforms alternatives including the boosting and penalization approaches by identifying a smaller number of genes/ modules and/or having better prediction performance.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns
TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.

TL;DR: A general framework for `soft' thresholding that assigns a connection weight to each gene pair is described and several node connectivity measures are introduced and provided empirical evidence that they can be important for predicting the biological significance of a gene.
